The City That Works…For You~Newsletter November 2006

 A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MALLOY
Community Arts Partnership

Culture reflects the spirit of our “community.” The City of Stamford looks at the role that culture plays in community development, in revitalizing our neighborhoods, and in the improvement of Stamford’s quality of life. Residents and visitors to Stamford take advantage of our diverse cultural offerings by going to performances, by viewing art in studios, by attending events in our downtown, at our library and in our community centers, through print, radio, and film. It is the City’s objective to embrace our varied cultures by making art accessible to everyone and to positively influence the creation of art. Exposure to the arts can help us understand other perspectives, change personal behavior, and foster greater awareness of others’ needs and aspirations. This “cultural citizenship” in Stamford fosters social cohesion, in which cultural and value differences are respected and celebrated in peaceful and productive ways. We view this cultural growth and its accessibility as crucial to the City’s growth and vitality.
